"They are all continuing to transition their indoor skills to new beach skills," added Gordon. "It has been really great to see the progress they have made from the little experience they have had so far.
"It has been rewarding as a coach to see our team embrace the challenge and see this as a process," continued Gordon.
The Eagles return to action on Friday at the Eckerd College Battle on the Bay in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Eagles will play a series of matches against Florida International, Jacksonville State, and Eckerd (Fla.) College.
